03 Cobra weighes 3665. Avg rwhp was 370. Some as low as 360 and as high as 390.

Evo 8 - 230/3262=0.07
Cobra - 3665/370=0.10

Even if we bump up the hp to the highest on the Evo and cut its weight to 3000 lbs, and take an extra 10 hp off the lowest hp on the Cobra - the Cobra has better power to weight.
Evo 8 - 240/3000=0.08
Cobra - 350/3665=0.095

Its not even close.
I'm going off wiki not what ppl think they made. Not every consumer will be as car educated as everyone is on this forum.

The evo ran a 12.1 stock and the cobra was at 11.9 so that would be a drivers race.

Stated on wiki there were evos in 2003 that made 316hp and your saying 240.i highly doubt 240 was there actual number they put down because that's hardly a performance machine hell some of the new v6 accords almost make that.

If what you say is correct..

A 240whp car ran a 12.1 and a 350whp car ran a 11.9

So a 4cyl sedan almost ran the same track time as a 03 cobra v8 power house. Again this shows off mustangs poor performance.
